Your Weekly Horror Digest

Sessions with Dr. Botgoreshared the first 6 chapters of their—quite grotesque-story called, “Lenny”. Fair warning, if you get squeamish easily, keep a trash can nearby!

Scoot

was kind enough to give everyone a book recommendation that made quite the impact on him. Nuclear destruction, nihilism and dwindling hope are sure to make this one a worthwhile read.

The Midnight Blue Seagave us the first look at the labor of love they’ve been working on about H.P. Lovecraft’s rise to fame in horror culture. I’m sure you’ve seen authors look into Lovecraft’s work before, however this one is meticulous in its analysis and a stellar read!

The Man Behind the Screen

talked about music that uses macabre imagery to really drive it’s message home. What music videos have you seen that serve to amplify the message that the writer was trying to convey?

Cobol

shared an original work titled, “Amis” for their first ever Macabre Monday post. Go on show their work some love!

Rene Volpi

shared a twisted tale based on the true story of serial killer Donald Harvey, a nurse that killed 100+ patients. Truly chilling.

Naptime Novelist gave us a ghost story inspired by her childhood home. I’m not sure what is creepier…the story the inspiration behind it!

Anna C. Webster

bestowed upon us an exceptionally well-written article that delves into analog horror and its recent increase in popularity.

That’s all I have for you this week! Check back in next Monday to once again visit the Cemetery!

Don’t forget about the upcoming deadline for the Wicked Writing Contest - March 18th! Read more about it here for all of the grisly details.

Join the discussion on Notes here on the Substack platform every Monday!
